Major shifts in diet and physical activity patterns have led to increased rates of obesity and chronic diseases around the world. Transnational ultraprocessed food and beverage companies are playing a major role by producing, distributing and marketing unhealthy products, and using their financial and political power to defend against policies that would safeguard public health. Settings-based interventions and social marketing campaigns can help to rebalance the environment and promote healthy weight at a population level.
